You’ll know a truly remarkable camera when you see – and feel it. With its big, comfortable grip, perfectly positioned controls, large TFT LCD display, and full complement of manual and automatic features, the C-3030 ZOOM passes with flying colors. A versatile shutter speed from 1/800 up to 16 seconds enables you to create truly dramatic photos.

Or, select a shutter speed while in shutter priority mode, and the C-3030 ZOOM specifies the proper f-stop on cue. And that’s just for starters. Adjust white balance to enhance colors. Magnify subject size using the digital telephoto feature. And even change the ISO setting and select from 5 uncompressed TIFF or 10 jpeg recording modes for the highest picture quality possible. Web images, digital archives, or prints – the results are outstanding.
Create cool trailing effects by using a slow shutter speed with second curtain flash sync.
Choose a larger aperture for a sharp subject and soft background. Or select a smaller aperture for the opposite effect.
Adjust f-stop or shutter speeds manually or switch to aperture priority mode and the shutter speed adjusts to your selected f-stop position or shutter speed automatically.

Beholder of the C-3030 ZOOM, that is.
Other than “simply breathtaking,” how do you want your photos to come out? Crisp and clear with colors where they belong? Dramatic black and white? Striking sepia tone? The C-3030 ZOOM gives you all the versatility you need to easily create the visual masterpiece you were shooting for. Spot metering, for example, lets you isolate a subject and ensure proper exposure. This amazing camera goes a step further, offering the ability to adjust exposure compensation, automatically bracketing your shots +/- 2 EV steps in 1/3 increments. Set the flash any way you want to create dramatic effects, from fill-in flash for more natural photos, to red eye reduction flash. Even turn it off. Or add the optional FL-40 flash for portrait or studio work. Switch to Sepia Tone mode (for a warm, classic look), black board/white board or full B&W mode. You want total photographic control? It’s right at your fingertips.
What you see is definitely not what you have to get. Complete control over color tones and lighting is at your fingertips.
Manual white balance settings let you com­pensate for different lighting conditions both indoors and out.
B&W mode lets you create just the right effect or simply add an artistic touch.
Add the optional FL-40 external flash or other lighting equipment for greater control when shooting portraits or other studio work.
